DAYCYCLE 4
[NOV 11-15]
Mod Note: The RL Days to one IC Daycycle ratio is being changed from 3:1 to 5:1 as of this Daycycle. Each IC Daycycle from here on out will last five RL days. For months that have 31 days, this last day will be added to the sixth Daycycle for that month. (Ex: Dec 26-31st will be one Daycycle.).
MORNING Troubleshooters in RM1102 will be woken up bright and early this morning as a squad of Internal Security Gray Ops come to arrest Abbie Mills for treason. She is taken from her assigned room and by the time that breakfast is over, all trace of her presence has been scrubbed. If one is to ask about the charges against her they will be told it is classified.
The majority of Troubleshooters seem a bit smug to learn of the first arrest of one of the Specials, though there are a few that actually seem a little more friendly. As if this somehow signifies that you aren’t all internal spies for The Computer. There are a few new faces this morning in the briefing huddle. Barry Allen, Gaius Maecenas and Lydia Martin were released from the Cloning center 24 hours ago and are joining the Special Troubleshooter ranks.
Today’s missions are more of the mundane nature, but as boring as they seem, they must be seen to.
Troubleshooter Team: Barry Allen & Lydia Martin
Mission: You are to deliver this 100-kilo spool of copper wire to the transformer station by transbot platform 12-YELLOW. The local quartermaster will sign for it. Be on the lookout for possible theft attempts. Intel indicates that the Free Enterprise group has been asking about copper materials as of late, most likely to aid some terrorist plot.
All other Troubleshooters: You are to report to your Service Firm positions for the day, until called on for Troubleshooter duty.

There was a recent security leak in Internal Security. The threat has been dealt with, but keep an ear open for anyone acting suspiciously in case they had accomplices. Report any and all forms of treason, even the possible intention of treason, immediately.
AFTERNOON At 1400 Natasha Romanoff will be pulled from her Threat Assessment job and interrogated by Internal Security for information about Abbie Mills and her recent actions. It will be implied that Natasha herself might have assisted in a breach of security. The session does not go beyond accusations and she will be released after an hour if nothing suspicious surfaces.
At 1500 Matt Farrell will be pulled from his Encryption job and interrogated by Internal Security for information about Abbie Mills and her recent actions. It will be implied that he might have assisted her in a breach of security. The session will not go beyond accusations and he will be released within thirty minutes if nothing suspicious surfaces.
At 1530 Maria Hill will be pulled from her post as a surveillance operative for interrogation by Internal Security. She will not return to her station.
At 1600 Ray Palmer will be pulled from his Equipment Control position and interrogated by Internal Security about his mission with Abbie Mills on Daycycle 2. He will be asked if she acted strangely or displayed traitorous signs at that point. If nothing useful comes out of the interview, he will be released within thirty minutes.
At 1700 Parker will be pulled from her position as an Infiltration Consultant and will be told to report to Medical Services. There she will be evaluated for the possibility of a medication adjustment. If the physician finds no need to medicate he will give her a stamped note to return to her supervisor. If he does recommend medication it will be administered onsite.
EVENINGThe Strobe, part dance club and part testbed for new power technologies, has reopened after an unfortunate closing of three months to rebuild after a terrible core meltdown. Many of the the Wagon Wheels residents are flocking out to the reopening to enjoy ear deafening music, seizure inducing light shows and overpriced drinks in test tubes.
Sleep aid gas is expelled into the sleeping quarters at 2100.

But he doesn't. Instead, he steadily checks the batteries of the fire alarms - why are they using batteries, anyway, shouldn't they be more technologically advanced than this? - in the vicinity of his friends. You might get a quick text to let you know he's outside your department if he's checking on you. He'll be the guy with the ladder and a cart of batteries.
By the way, how much do you think they'd sell on the Infrared market? Hypothetically speaking?
Re: Afternoon
And finding Hardison with a cart of batteries is a distraction, at least. "...Hey."

Re: Afternoon
As per usual, there isn't a warning about Parker's arrival. One second she wasn't there, and now she is.
"Hardison."
It's not her excited whisper. It's very subdued, and she shakes her head. "Got to hide from the kool-aid."
That Kool-aid man was creepy anyway; knocking through walls like he did.
no subject
He jumps, grabbing onto the ladder as it teeters at his sudden movement. "Parker, you scared me." But it's pretty clear whatever is going on, it's serious. He steps down off the ladder. "What's going on?"
no subject
Her mouth scrunches up, and she looks up to the ceiling. "They want me to go to medical. I don't want to."
Meaning, when they pulled her off her job, she pulled her disappearing act.

"Can only be one reason, Kool-Aid." Those shoulders he holds, are slumped slightly. There's little she finds more appalling than someone or something having control over her. Medication does that.
"And I couldn't call you," she taps her ear. "They might be listening."
no subject
"You have to go or they'll get suspicious. But if it's medication, just keep it under your tongue and spit it out after. Or distract them and palm it. Do you want me to go with you?"
no subject
Parker has gone through all the worst case scenarios. "And what if it's an injection? Can't just tie off one part of my body so the blood doesn't flow, well, I could, but that's a bitch to recover from." Straight face and all as she says that.
no subject
But he was beginning to think that there was a lot the computer didn't hear, considering the things he'd seen on a daily basis. There was still a risk, but there was no way he was going to send her in there alone.
Some of the color drains from his face at the talk of cutting off blood flow. "If it's an injection, then I'll take care of you. And we'll figure a way out of here before it happens again."
no subject
So she pokes him, right in the chest. It's a rather hard poke. "You." She pokes him once again. "I'm not in this alone anymore."
She'd rather jump off a building, like she did the last time she realized this. "And not tirades about Kryptonite, or why CGI Yoda isn't the best Yoda." Hardison can get just a teeny bit distracted, and Parker knows this.
no subject
"I'll be there," he promises, reaching out to pull her in for a hug. "No tirades. Even if CGI Yoda isn't really Yoda. I promise."
